Sun Yuchen: David Geffen is personally attacking me. Le Nez is my legal property

On April 19, Sun Yuchen posted an article on the X platform saying: "David Geffen is personally attacking me. No matter how he slander my reputation, Le Nez is my legal property. I am fully confident that I will take it back." Previously, Sun Yuchen had sued billionaire collector David Geffen for the return of Alberto Giacometti's sculpture "Le Nez", claiming that a rogue art consultant sold the work to David Geffen through forged signatures and careful planning by fictitious lawyers. Sun Yuchen, who bought "Lenez" at Sotheby's in 2021 for $78.4 million, claims that his former consultant Xiong Zihan Sydney planned the deal without his consent, forged documents, and even pretended to be a lawyer via email to facilitate the deal. Now Sun Yuchen wants his sculpture back,"or get huge compensation." David Geffen's lawyer, Tibor L. Nagy said the lawsuit was "absurd and baseless" and suggested that Sun Yuchen only regretted the deal. The complaint did not contain any allegations that Geffen had any connection or relationship with Xiong. "The deal was reached through an intermediary," Nagy said."If Sun Yuchen is dissatisfied with the deal that the intermediary made for him a year later, there is no reason to claim against David Geffen."
